I combined today's sketch challenge with Monday's technique challenge on this card. Monday's challenge was to do faux cloisonne'. The flower in the middle is from a junk mail magazine for clothing. The gold panels are a candy bar wrapper. The chocolate was from a co-worker last year. After consuming the chocolate I thought the paper was too pretty to throw away. I folded it up nicely and have been carrying it around in my purse. This card just screamed for more glamour so I had to dig it out. I applied adhesive to the background and the crumpled the wrapper up and placed it on the adhesive. The sentiment *Rejoice* was stamped with versamark and heat embossed. I pierced around the edges to give more dimension. Let me know what you think.

Very elegant with the gold, and what a fun idea to use candy bar wrappers. Gee, I bet you *hated* having to eat the candy so you could make the card! ;)

What a smart card-super idea to use that yummy foil paper (I love it when we can recycle on our creations!). Beautiful colors- lovely card.
